On
March 23, one percent of the flow of the Colorado River will be released into Mexico,
to flow into the river delta and the Gulf of California as part of an
experiment in environmental restoration over several months. The agreement,
known as Minute 319, was signed between the U.S. and Mexico in late 2012 at the
urging of groups like the Environmental Defense Fund. The transfer will
occur despite intense drought in the southwestern U.S.

The
Colorado River is a major source of water for farms and households in the
southwest, including California. The language of the agreement provides for a
five-year joint "pilot project" starting in 2013, and allows the
delivery of Colorado River water "tentatively during 2014 but no later than
2016."

It
was possible, therefore, to delay the pilot project for at least two years,
giving the region a chance to recover from drought. No such delay was made.

It
has been more than half a century since the Colorado River flowed regularly to
the delta.

The
Environmental Defense Fund has pushed
back against criticism of the project's timing. "Some may
grumble that this is not the time to send water to the environment, but that
objection ignores the broader context of the recent binational agreement and
the many benefits it brings to both countries," wrote Jennifer Pitt,
director of the Fund's Colorado River project.

Engineers
will open the floodgates of the Morelos Dam, which straddles the border, and
will do so again several times throughout the spring months to mimic the
natural floods of the region, the Associated Press reports.
The hope is not only to restore species habitat and the region's natural water
flow, but also to provide water that once sustained broader agriculture in the
region, and build cooperation for future joint water management.

The San Diego City Council on
Tuesday, November 18, unanimously voted to move forward with the implementation
of Pure Water San Diego, a 20-year plan that could result in a significant
portion of the region's water supply sourced from a local wastewater-recycling
program.

Jerry Brownsays the state is facing possibly the worst drought it
has ever seen since record keeping began about 100 years ago. For more on the
drought and its impact, Renee Montagne talks to Michael Hanemann, professor of
agricultural and resource economics at University of California, Berkeley.

"Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men."- St. Augustine

"A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous, and then dismissed as trivial, until finally it becomes what everybody knows." -

William James

"This is the real task before us: to reassert our commitment as a nation to a law higher than our own, to renew our spiritual strength. Only by building a wall of such spiritual resolve can we, as a free people, hope to protect our own heritage and make it someday the birthright of all men." --Ronald Reagan

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."-- Edward Abbey

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."John Stuart Mill

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." ~~~George Washington

"I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University." William F. Buckley, Jr.

“A nation that substitutes emotion and empathy for rational thought will eventually digress into the Dark Ages,”Congressman Steve King (R-IA),

INTEGRITY: The highest courage is to dare to be ourself in the face of adversity. Choosing ethics over convenience and truth over popularity means there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They may be more likely to go to Heaven for good intentions yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.~ C. S. Lewis

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." ANON
